James Blunt has been out of the radar for some months and there's a reason behind it. The "You're Beautiful" singer has revealed that he wants to take a time out from the music industry to enjoy what he has earned.

Blunt has traveled around the world to support his third studio album titled "Some Kind of Trouble" which was released in November 2010. He has not announced any plan to record the follow up and his last performance in Britain was back in February when he performed at the Shepherd's Bush Empire. All Blunt wanted was to settle down.

"I just want to take some time out for myself," Blunt told Mail Online at the relaunch of nightclub Barbarella in Fulham, West London. "I haven't got any plans to do more songwriting. I have been chilling out since I finished my world tour and I've spent a lot of time in Ibiza, where I have a villa."

Blunt has also been enjoying quality time with girlfriend of nine months, Sofia Wellesley. "Sofia and I had a great time hanging out with friends on my yacht but we partied as well," the singer said. "I do like a good night out and that is why it's great fun to hang out at Barbarella. London needs more nightclubs like this."
